Only check necessary signatures and checksums

The precedence goes as follows: signature > sha256sum > md5sum

Add some logic and helper methods to check what we have available when
loading a package, and then only check what is necessary to verify the
package. This should speed up sync database verifies as we no longer
will be doing both a checksum and a signature validation.
